| 2015-02-11 |
| So, it appears that the maximum attention span of the average NBC-watching American has been quantified as 6-months. |

| #12 Pretty sure things are not well in the marital bliss department. His wife has to confront other "Country Club" weemens who are ripping her to shreds behind her back. Unhappy woman = unhappy everything. |

| #11 Suspended...or attached to the Nightstalkers to assist the rescue of the remaining hostages...and those we don't know about. OR (puts on tin hat) Williams will go to the daily show, and stewart will take Williams' place. His best bet would be to get a gig moderating for Hillary! debates. |

| #10 I lived in Chicagoland during the 90's. Lester Holt and Dan Curtis ruled. Lester will do fine... |

| #9 6 months sabbatical is hardly punishment. It just means NBC has a chance to determine if his replacement is working out by then, if not Brian can return to save the day. Personally I think we might see the end of big three network news. Perception of credibility was the last thing they had going for them. Might as ewll go for 24/7 cable news now. |

| #8 Maybe he can get together with Dan Rathers and they can collaborate on a new project. "I was fired at by George Bush."? |

| #6 Lyin Brian and Jon Steward could change chairs and no one would notice a discernable change. |

| #4 6 months without pay means a loss of $5 million for Brian. I think that will get his attention. |

| #3 Child abuse, substance abuse, excessive wanking... he'll soon be checking into rehab for some causative issue. None of this will be his fault in the end. |

| #1 Brian's estimated net worth is $40 Million Dollars, he and his family are not going to starve, 6 months salary, nice to have but really his credibility is totally shot. I wouldn't trust him to answer my phone. You are retired Brian, get use to it. |
